No, no, I suspect I was just plain wrong. I think I felt a twinge of suspicion even as I wrote it, but I went ahead and hit Send anyway perhaps because I'd had two nights with little sleep (if I need an excuse to be wrong, that is, which I don't :-) ). > Who knows, but it certainly isn't in this case.
